Innovative population genetics software was used to evaluate DNA fingerprint and sequence data from individual Coptotermes formosanus (Rhinotermitidae) workers collected from a point-source introduction in Atlanta, GA. We discuss the insights into population structure gleaned from using multiple DNA markers as well as point out caveats inherent in the use of each individual DNA marker.
